If you don’t know what blue circle around your profile picture on messenger means, this blog will tell you more about it. Let’s discover!

You may notice that some of the profiles have a blue ring around the thumbnail profile image when you open your messenger and locate the list of your friends there. The presence of this blue circle serves as a visual cue that the user has recently posted new stories on Facebook. As an alternative, we could say that although you as a viewer have access to a new article that friends have shared, you haven't yet read it.

By tapping on the blue circle profile, you may see their stories and comment or like them. And they can see that you have recently seen their posted stories.
